finally, we have sun. and it's bouncing around all over the city of portland like a giant yellow ball.

we are all out in it. we are celebrating by doing things like opening windows and taking photographs of the sky. we are laying in the grass and ordering ice cream cones. some of us are even wearing sandals, though it's not really warm enough for that. what I'm trying to say here is that we feel a little like we just won the lottery, like we're at the beginning of the shiniest kind of parade. we know it's not going to last forever but dang it if we're not going to forget everything for a second and lose our minds over it.

felt good to lay out all those pretty polaroid cameras and packs of film, to watch all the fine workshop peoples pick them up and hold them in their hands. felt good to send the peoples out into that small coastal town armed and ready, watch them all trickle back into the house and tape their favorite polaroids onto that giant white wall. and I'll tell you, it felt good to teach again. really really good.

hammering out details for workshops in both portland and san francisco. details to come, my friends.
